Hey, BbI got a gal at the Ebhead of the Bbcreek,

Goin' up to see her about Ftwo times a Bbweek.

Kiss her on the mouth, Ebsweet as any Bbwine,

Wrap herself around me like a Fsweet potato Bbvine.

BbGoin up Cripple Creek, Ebgoin on a Bbrun,

goin up Cripple Creek to Fhave a little Bbfun.

Goin up Cripple Creek, Ebgoin in a Bbwhirl,

goin up Cripple Creek to Fsee my Bbgirl.

Now the girls up Cripple Creek, about half-grown,

jump on a boy like a dog on a bone.

Roll my britches up to my knees,

wade ol Cripple Creek whenever I please.

Now, Cripple Creek's wide and Cripple Creek's deep,

wade old Cripple Creek before I sleep.

Hills are steep and the roads are muddy,

and I'm so dizzy that I can't stand steady
